Overall, people were thrilled with the music choice, which seemed to be a break from the classical music that often accompanies figure skating routines.

Some weren't huge fans of the song choice, but were still wowed by James and Ciprés.

For reference, here is Simon and Garfunkel's original version of the song:

And here is Disturbed's cover:

Not only is the style of the song a shock, but so are the use of lyrics. In the past, skaters would be docked points if they performed to a song with lyrics, according to NBC. But, as the outlet reported in January, the International Skating Union changed the rules for the 2014-2015 season. This makes Pyeongchang 2018 the first Olympics where songs with lyrics are allowed.

James and Ciprés aren't the only pair to take advantage of this adjustment. Kristina Astakhova and Alexey Rogonov of Russia skated to a "La La Land" medley, while Canada's Meagan Duhamel and Eric Radford skated to "Hometown Glory" by Adele.

So what made James and Cipres chose such a unique song? It came down to their coaches' suggestion.

"They were like, 'We really think it could be a hit.' And Morgan listened to it and was like, 'I don't like it,' because we weren't used to it," James told ABC News. "And I was like, 'OK, let me see if I can get into this.' I thought it could be amazing, and I was like, 'Morgan, let's trust them.' And we were so right to have trusted them."

The choice may not have won them a medal, but the French duo did walk away with even bigger fanbase. Perhaps one that will cheer them on in 2022.
